I'd play BG if it were on anything I owned.

Someday.

Knights of the old Republic. I didn't know anything about BioWare. What made me want to play it was a quote in EGM. The quote was something like "the best thing to happen to Star Wars since Empire Strikes Back"

[Druk-Qs]

Not sure

 

I believe I might have played Baldur's Gate prior, but I'm fairly positive it was Kotor. It was, at least, the first game by them that I completed.

It was eric priestly in the summer of 2007 on my sofa-bed. He said he'd call. He never did... *one tear*

[DeathNyx]

My first experience should have been KOTOR but at that time my pc was a sh!t and i wasn't a pc player at all. DA:O is my very first BW game. 

[Blastback]

Baldur's Gate 2.  I'd started playing D&D with my friends in highschool and loved it.  Saw a D&D based computer game and said why the heck not? 

 

Still my all time favorite game to this day.

Baldur's Gate, on release day. Every game since.

 

(And I still have the maps/book from BG somewhere, similar to the above poster!)

[Wires_From_The_Wall]

Baldur's Gate.

[Jo Berry]

Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 got me completely hooked. Fell in love with Knights of the Old Republic. Mass Effect inspired me to get into the industry.

[Derpy]

Mass Effect 1-3 as I got the trilogy so I could get 1 for PS3.

[Beerfish]

Friggin Nashkell mines and those stoopid kobold commandos with fire arrows......(grumble grumble)

[CrimsonN7]

Mass Effect, then from ME I picked up DAO.

 

Favourite title will always be ME2.

My own personal history:

 

While I was still a hardcore console gamer, I had a friend who was really deep into western rpgs for pcs. He talked about baldur´s gate all the time, and was ecstatic about the soon to be released Baldur´s Gate 2. But I was not really interested, it was not my cup of tea, and PCs were costly, hard to configure and upgrade back then, quite differently from now.  My previous experience with PC gaming was mostly bad, so I tented to avoid playing on PC like the plague. 

 

In the late nineties and early 2000s I had a Sega Dreamcast, and one of the games I picked up was MDK2. I´m a very methodical person, so I don´t like playing follow-ups without having experienced the original, so I already had preconceptions. The game was funny, the characters were diversed, but the difficult level was high. So I gave up without even paying attention that it was a bioware game, a name I would keep ignoring for many years.

 

Then I heard about a very respected, highly praised game called knights of the old republic. Again, I paid no attention to who had developed. At the time, I was the owner of a PS2, and sadly, it was one of the Xbox exclusives. So, my loss. After that, I lost interest in gaming, and focused in other areas of my life. I did not even get a new generation console. 

 

In 2010, after hearing about Street Fighter IV and the return of mortal kombat, I went back to gaming. I was considering if I should wait for a new generation, purchase 360 or PS4. Then I started to hear about PCs and how they were now offered an easier and more affordable experience. That friend of mine from the begining of the story was still a pc gamer and maintained a personal blog about the subject. Both he and a personal contact from the USA spoke great things about Mass Effect. Finally, in mid 2011 I started to watch Hathur99 youtube channel and by the end of 2011 I decided to give it a try in playing it myself. I was totally impressed, and decided to invest on a PC Gamer. Then in March of 2012 I purchased the trilogy and all of the DLCs. Soon after I purchased both Dragon Age ultimate and Dragon Age 2. I also purchased MDK2 (remaster too) Old republic, jade empire, and at gog all the classic bioware games. Bioware quickly became one of my favorite developers. 

[Lorien19]

The first Bioware game I was introduced to was Baldur's gate,though I consider Origins as my first Bioware "experience"due to the limited time I dedicated to the first.

[bmwcrazy]

KotoR I guess.

 

I was never a Star Wars fan but the game was entertaining enough.

[SporkFu]

Didn't know anything about Bioware, but I thought Baldur's Gate looked pretty cool after watching my brother play it for an hour or so. I saved my money and bought it and Tales of the Sword Coast at the same time.

 

Played every game since, but my addiction favorite game is Mass Effect 3.

[MegaIllusiveMan]

Mass Effect 2

It got me hooked on the ME experience and I got more interested at Bioware Games.

TBH, I got MDK first but i've recently just discovered that it was a Bioware game.

And KotOR too

[Eurypterid]

Baldur's Gate. My brother was visiting (I think it was in 2000) and we were talking about D&D and I mentioned how I'd love to play a computer game based on it. He said "Hey have you heard about this game?", and I hadn't. Picked it up and wow was I hooked. After that I started looking for more and when I stumbled across NWN and began sinking hundreds of hours into it, I was completely hooked on BioWare's games from then on.

 

I think the only BioWare game I don't own now is TOR (I don't do MMOs).

One day.

[CronoDragoon]

Knights of the Old Republic. Friend lent me his XBox just so I could play it. I was absolutely stunned: I can pick what I say? What, there's a romance? OMG lightsaber battles! Jade Empire I was less a fan of, since fights just boiled down to punch punch jump over their head punch punch.

 

Even then I didn't get a chance to play another BW game until I bought BG2. The story and characters were good but I wasn't a fan of the combat, as each fight basically turned into an exploit-fest.

 

Love the Dragon Age games, but Mass Effect 2 or 3 are probably my favorites, as they best represent the combination of fun, refined gameplay and well-told narratives.

[SwobyJ]

Jo, I'll take that 'Like' and twist it into meaning "I like that we'll be working on the same project together in a few years." *nods*

@CronoDragon - It's funny that when I played KOTOR and realized that I couldn't romance Carth with my male Revan, that was one of the defining moments of my sexuality. "Booo! That sucks! Wait, why does it suck? Oh....."

 

I never liked KOTOR and Jade Empire's combat though. I'm not of the D&D era/field (I know lots of  people still play it, but its of diminishing prevalence every year), so I just kept imagining a more active combat occuring. Still, KOTOR's lightsaber battles were very novel for the time.

 

I still can't get a lot into Dragon Age... yet. Maybe this year, with Inquisition coming. I try to keep myself somewhat updated with the lore though.

 

ME3 will only reach ME1-2 levels for me once I get out of the rubble in the next game (it's okay, you can think I'm delusional). For now, I just enjoy the ride and sweet dreams.

[Liadan]

The first bioware game i played was Baldur`s Gate in 1998 followed by BG2 two years later.

 

My brother told me about the game and i found out that i could play a female character so i decided to try. I just loved the story and the characters.

[Neoleviathan]

Knights of the Old Republic for me. Just had gotten an xbox an needed a game to go with it. I knew nothing about KotOR or Bioware, but I had been playing many JRPG's in the time leading up to that so I decided to see what a western game looked like. I was hooked immediately. The gameplay was fun, the worlds were great to look at and explore, and the music never stopped being good. Got Jade Empire SE not long after that.

[cronshaw]

Baldur's Gate

My favorite, that's tough.

I grew up playing PnP D&D: blue box, then 1st ed AD&D in all it's draconian glory.

I had also played a lot of video games. I had a NES, SNES, PS1,2. 

But i had never played a game like the original Baldur's Gate.

D&D on the screen, it was awesome. I played all their subsequent fantasy stuff

plus related stuff not developed by them (icewind dale, neverwinter nights 2)

But I think to date their finest accomplishment is probably ME2. All their D&D stuff had a framework for them to draw on.

The Mass effect universe was their own creation and a fascinating and credible one at that.

Within that universe ME2 is probably the best game.

The story in ME1 was better, but the gameplay in ME2 was better

the gameplay in ME3 is better than both ME1 and ME2 but the story doesn't measure up to the 1st two

It's also probably the game of theirs I have played the most.

I'm excited for DA:I though as I think it could be their best game yet, I've been replaying DA:O and DA 2 to ready myself
